I guess you can't expect much from someone who was upset that Black soldiers didn't feature prominently in Eastwood's two pictures "Flags of our Fathers" where none of the soldiers who raised the Flag are black, and "Letters from Iwo Jima" which is about Japanese soldiers.

But anyway, controversy is good, it usually means good sales too. Keep posting.

It's PC crap like this that gets me fired up.
What does this mean? Did ANY black soldiers assist in the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima?
Answer: NO.
Spike Lee has a huge chip on his shoulder and should know that the only black battalion on Iwo Jima was a small munitions supply unit that came to the beach.

As for Spike lee he lives in a fantasy world.
His next film will be about how the anglo saxons were really black.

Any first year history major could tell you there weren't a lot of Black combat units in WW2. So I guess he would rather have Clint's movies set in a fantasy land were all the combat troops were black and all the cooks and munitions supply soldiers were white.
I'm not downplaying how black troops were treated it was a travesty especially considering that Nations like France had fully integrated their armed forces as far back as WW1, but it's historical fact, trying to pretend it didn't happen does all those black WW2 vets a disservice.
